Well, with the Triathlon season well and truly done for the year, most of the MTR-Racing team are training for the upcoming season commencing in August.
Firstly, MTR-Racing would like to welcome 2 new athletes on board, Ben Robinson and Justin Schweikert. Both have completed Ironman Triathlons in very respectable times and MTR-Racing look forward to working with the 2 new athletes and seeing rapid improvements along the way.
In the previous update, it was noted the Jason Quigley, MTR's resident Mountain Biker competed in the Australian Mountain Bike Championships. Well now Jason has completed his race report and you can see that here www.jasonquigley.blogspot.com
Jason finished an incredible top 50th overall in a race that included 3000metres of climbing. Great Work Jason. You can follow his progress by looking at the above link.
Jason is also racing the World 24hour MTB Championships later in the year.
Other News for the Year is that 5 MTR Athletes will be competing in the Western Australian Ironman. Carla Lawson will be backing up from her race at Hawaii, both Ben Robinson and Xavier Coppock will be starting for the 3rd consecutive year and will both be looking for improvements from great races last year.
Archie Ball and Travis Atkins will both be making their Ironman debuts at the race and by the form showed in early season racing, should be there for a great showing.
Also, Rod Stormonth, who is making the transition in the a Mountain Bike Racer is going to race the 24 hour MTB race later in the year also.
A long winter ahead for all 7 athletes.
In short term news, 4 athletes will be competing in a Mountain Bike Duathlon at the weekend with Ben & Rod teaming up along with Jason & Xavier. Both teams will provide a good showing for the sponsor TEAM DEGANI and MTR-Racing are looking forward to some positive results.
Stay tuned for the race report.
